COVID-19 Update
We are all so relieved to have 2020 behind us. We mourn our losses, family, friends…our jobs, livelihoods. So much turmoil, anger and sadness. I think we can all agree that 2021 has to be better! I believe it will. As a small indie theater troop we had our own challenges… albeit minor compared to most. Still, we share in that collective shut down that has affected so many in the arts community. Music, museums, theater… all continue to face challenges we never expected. But I will hold on hope for everyone in 2021. And as we look forward to the possibilities of this new year please know boots on the ground theater® will dig in our heels and strive to bring you some of the best in local theater while keeping health and safety a primary goal. Sending prayers and love. Keep the faith! And stay tuned…
From our Founder, Bonnie Grice
